AAR's current situation declared in the bankruptcy filing is 4 million in assets and 20 million in liabilities. Their total cash burn ( IIRC ) from the start two years ago was 43 million dollars.

When you're a failed radio show, what do you have to sell?

Only the audio rights when the Martians finally pick up the signal.

"I'll start the bidding at $1.25..."

Rush Limbaugh outta buy that rediculous network and turn it into a winner. Keep the name, but make it a 24/7 all-conservative network. Sign on Hewitt, Hannity, Ingraham, Levin, ect.

Franken and Rhodes could be left on to do custodial work or something.

The poetic justice of such and acquisition could not be sweeter.

But that was other liberals money. If it was the taxpayers or just gullible investors funds they could have burned through it in moments.

To defend AAR, leftists always say that most businesses don't make a profit the first couple of years. They're correct except that by then the businesses at least has a solid direction or potential for growth by that point. AAR has mostly saturated and peaked. I'd sure like to see what they have planned because they've tried almost every business model there is and failed with them. They've even tried donations, which gave them one station for a few months.

--I momentarily forgot that liberals and communists were the same thing.--

Not the same. Some liberals are socialists.

Who'd want a network on a bunch of low powered stations?

Man, how many times can you kill the same pig? It reminds me of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's".

It's dead! Jim. Beam 'em up.

Stick a fork in it, Air America is done!

Holy mama! You could almost start a real business for that much! You could buy a chain of 160 Pizza Huts for that much - no Air just real dough!

That's why they went and opened two more black holes in its' place.
